A third report of a cylinder-shaped UFO moving overhead on the same day was filed from LaPorte, IN, June 30, 2011, according to testimony from the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) witness reporting database.
Previous reports were made from both Indiana and Illinois that appear to describe the same object.
The witness was standing in a parking lot on Pine Lake Road when the object moved overhead.
"I noticed a silver 'plane' flying to the west, but when I looked at it, there was no tail, and no wings, although there did seem to be dark, vertically rectangular areas in the middle near where wings would be," the witness stated. "It was flying low, at a descent altitude for planes, but flying horizontally, also much slower than a plane would appear to be moving at that altitude."
We previously reported that witnesses in both Indiana and Illinois reported watching a cylinder-shaped object on the same day in: Cyliner UFOs reported over Indiana, Illinois.
This latest witness watched with her husband as the object flew by, attempting to understand what she was looking at.
"I was staring at it, trying to make out wings because I thought they had to be there. There was definitely nothing where the tail should be. We were looking at it from the side. I didn't say anything to my husband because I felt silly, but a few seconds after I noticed it he said 'What is that thing?'. Neither one of us had ever seen anything like it before. We watched it for a couple of minutes until it was small in the distance to the west. It was much too slender to be a blimp. I still think there must be some explanation that doesn't involve aliens but I sure can't think of one."

IN, June 28, 2011 - Wingless tail-less "plane" flying low and slow, soundless. MUFON Case # 29801.
We were in a parking lot on Pine Lake Rd in LaPorte IN. I noticed a silver"plane" flying to the west but when I looked at it, there was no tail, and no wings although there did seem to be dark vertically rectangular areas in the middle near where wings would be.
It was flying low, at a descent altitude for planes, but flying horizontally, also much slower than a plane would appear to be moving at that altitude. I was staring at it, trying to make out wings because I thought they had to be there. There was definitely nothing where the tail should be, we were looking at it from the side.
I didn't say anything to my husband because I felt silly, but a few seconds after I noticed it he said "What is that thing?". Neither one of us had ever seen anything like it before. We watched it for a couple of minutes till it was small in the distance to the west. It was much too slender to be a blimp. I still think there must be some explanation that doesn't involve aliens but I sure can't think of one.
